The days go on fast. Weeks change months, months change with years. It did not feel nineteen years less Yumna settled in the residence of her parents. The boy who was a child had already grown into a very handsome teenage boy.
It was eighteen years old the child Yumna had born. The child who became the spirit for himself continued to fight and fight. Now the boy has graduated from high school. One month ago his son had a breakup at his school accompanied by himself.
And one week ago, Ali took his diploma at the school where he studied for three years.
"Li eat first yuk," Yumna invited her son to dinner. The son's favorite food was already available on the dining table, not only his son but himself.
"Yes Bun," Ali followed the mother who had called him from the living room, because she was busy watching television.
Yumna got rice for her bachelor. "This way, son?" Yumna showed the rice on the plate to her son.
"Yes Bun, that's it." Ali replied with a sweet smile adorning her handsome face. A face similar to my father. Part of Yumna is just her lips and eyes, the rest is a duplicate of Reyhan's real father.
Sometimes Yumna felt sad, why her son's face even resembled her ex-husband. Though she who was pregnant for nine months, she who struggled to raise her child until this moment. But its parts can only be lips and eyes. However, Yumna does not matter, and also does not remember her ex-husband too much, it can even be said there is no more love in her heart for her ex-husband.
Next Yumna took his son's favorite soy sauce chicken. Giving a plate that was filled with food to Ali who greeted the man with a smile accompanied by a thank you to the woman who had given birth to herself into this world.
Both the mother and son enjoyed their dinner quietly. Because eating while talking is not good especially if it is intercepted because of food.
In just thirty minutes they finally finished eating. Great food according to both of them. Favorite food for children and mothers.
Yumna and Ali were sitting in the living room watching a movie on television, what else if not the movie 'Ku Cry'. Although Ali does not like it, it is impossible for him to ask his mother to change for his favorite movie. Ali really knows how the group really likes the film in Indosiar.
Likes to not like Ali keep watching his mother's favorite movie. But sometimes Ali is also upset with the male actor who is considered very selfish. When you have a loyal wife even look for a more beautiful one. Having a simple wife instead seeks the rich. When having a wife whose business is still under must be demanded so that his business quickly develops. It felt like Ali wanted to hit if only the men were in front of him.
"Mother," Ali faced Yumna who focused on watching the series on television.
"Yes Li, what's wrong?" Yumna shakes her face to face the baby who has been her encouragement all this time.
"When are we going to Bun town?" Ali was eager to go to the city where her mother used to live. Not want to meet a man who chooses to leave his mother and himself. Just because it is difficult to get pregnant with the man willingly dump his mother.
"Tomorrow the day, dear. In the morning we clean the house and the clothes we will bring. Just before leaving for the airport we stopped by the house of Aunt Caca," explained Yumna with a sweet smile on her lips. Although not young anymore, Yumna's face was still like a woman in her thirty years. His face has always been taken care of since before, so he looks youthful.
"Ooo it's Bun. Emm, what time does the plane leave tomorrow Bun?" asked Ali curiously.
"About unit hours. What's wrong? Is there something you want to buy?"
"There's no Bun,"
After the conversation between the mother and the child, they then chose to continue watching television that was still broadcast in front of the two mothers and children.
***
The weather this morning was beautiful. Sunlight seemed to support Yumna and Ali's departure to the city where Yumna used to live.
Yumna is cleaning the kitchen. Washed their old dirty dishes last night and their used meals an hour ago. Continue sweeping the house and mopping the floor to make it look more beautiful.
While Ali was stuffing his clothes into a backpack that is large enough to belong to him that Yumna bought when he was camping during the tenth grade.
After all the homework was done, Yumna went into her room and picked up her favorite light blue suitcase. Put in all his clothes and toiletries that he bought a few days ago. If left behind, it will be redundant. It is better to carry it and it will be used later. That's what Yumna thought.
Two suitcases and one backpack belonging to Ali were already in the living room. After that, the two children and the mother continued to bathe and prepare for pegi. The clock on the wall of Yumna's house showed at eleven o'clock in the afternoon. The sign is two hours away they should be up at the airport.
Yumna and Ali are in the taxi they ordered. Walk to the caca residence. It only took them fifteen minutes to finally arrive at the Caca residence.
Yumna and Ali get off a taxi parked in Caca's yard. The taxi driver would just wait for them in the taxi without entering Caca's house.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Yumna said a greeting while knocking on the door in front of him.
Chequek...
"Ehh, you're Yumna. Let's get in Yumna, Ali," Caca opened the door for his guest. His enthusiasm came in an instant when he saw his guest who was none other than Yumna and also his son.
"Yes Ca/Tan" the two men replied with a sweet smile.
Yumna and Ali follow Caca's steps. Caca headed for the kitchen while Yumna and Ali sat on the living room couch. Shortly after, Caca arrived with two glasses of water on a tray and served Yumna and Ali.
"There is only water in Yum, because my empty snacks have not been purchased hehe," said Caca with oddity. "Please drink Yumna, Nak Ali" he continued.
"This alone is more than enough Ca. You are too much." replied Yumna.
"Yes Tan, thank you," replied Ali who immediately regretted the hot heart that Caca made.
"Nobody is too much Yumna, you know how I am."
"Yes, want to be fought and you will not want to lose mending I give up." reply Yumna. "oh, where are your husband and children? how is it not visible?" Yumna glanced here and there to see the presence of Caca's ten-year-old daughter which means daughter Caca was born when Ali was eight years old.
"So go with Bang Rangga. I don't know where they went either. Where would they take me if they wanted to travel. At most the child and father wanted to go both doang without wanting to make sure I." reply Caca with a sad face.
"Sabarrr, this is a test. Hahah," Yumna let go of her laughter hearing her friend's complaint. Indeed, during this time if traveling children and her husband, Caca rarely invited can even be said to not exist. If you travel far.
"That was definitely Yumna's time, otherwise there's no way I'm still home right now. Surely I will make a point to follow them," said Caca.
"Yes, too, Ca. Oh yeah Ca, Ali and I came here to say goodbye. We're going back to Jakarta. Ali wants to continue his studies there. So maybe in the future we will very, very rarely meet. If there's any time I'll come back here for the holidays,"
"Why so fast Yum, there will still be a few more days or a week. Then what if I miss the same you and that's your bachelor son, hehe," Caca could say when she said softly so still looking at her bachelor with a slightly flirtatious look. Even so Caca already considers Ali like his own son.Ya Caca already considers Ali as his own son. When Ali was a child, Caca often invited him to play at home.
"Our isss how the hell is Ca, we can still video call. Times are sophisticated, "Yumna shook her head as Caca showed a look like a child asking for candy.
"Oh yes Yum, understand me I forgot Yum," replied Caca with his special grin.
Yumna glanced at the clock at Caca's cold house. "Yaudah Ca, I'm the same Ali said yes. At one o'clock the plane will leave. Say hello to your husband and your daughter, yes" Yumna stood up from her seat. Hugging a friend he already considered his own brother.
"Ali pamit aunty, greetings to Om and little brother," Ali greeted Caca's hand with reverence.
"Yes be careful Yum, Li. Oh yes later do not forget to tell me when it arrived, Yum," pinta Caca who got a nod from Yumna.
Yumna and Ali leave Caca's residence. Departure to Minangkabau International Airport. Their departure to Jakarta is only ten minutes away. Because talking too much at Caca's house makes Yumna seem to forget time. Yumna asked the driver to speed up his car.
When we arrived at the airport, there were many passengers on the plane. Fortunately, Yumna and Ali arrived on time. If it was too late, they would miss the plane. Yumna and Ali stepped towards their seats.
In just two hours less finally the plane carrying Ali and Yumna landed in Soekarno-Hatta airport. They were down in turn with the other passengers.
Ali's beautiful eyes looked at how beautiful Jakarta was. Coupled with skyscrapers that made Ali very amazed.
Along the way to the residence of Yumna which has been vacated since a week ago by people who rent his house. Ali never stopped seeing the beautiful view of Jakarta.
"This is our house, Bun?" Now Ali and Yumna have arrived in front of the house that used to be the residence of her and her ex-husband. This house looks a little different. There used to be no flowers neatly arranged on the porch of the house. But now the beautiful eyes of Yumna caught some flowers in the pot. It looks so beautiful and refreshing.
"Yes Nak. You wait here first, Mother wants to ask our neighbors for the key" said Yumna, who was embraced by Ali.
Yumna stepped towards the house where she had left the keys. While Ali brought suitcases and backpacks to the terrace of the house that looked neat and clean.
